jqgrid reload grid partially working

Question

I have a client side managed jqgrid that I reload when some external event are fired. Everything is fine when I reload the grid with more data but when I reload it with less

Answer 1

Try to replace

$("#list2")[0].refreshIndex();
$("#list2").trigger("reloadGrid");

with

var g = $("#list2");
g.setGridParam({ data: gridData });
g[0].refreshIndex();
g.trigger("reloadGrid");

see http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/help/losing-edited-cell-data-after-paging/ and http://www.trirand.com/blog/?page_id=393/bugs/data-parameter-are-not-modified-during-inline-editing/ for details.

In general you should use probably better set url parameter with respect of setGridParam methods or just use postData with a function (see How to filter the jqGrid data NOT using the built in search/filter box for details)
